Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Bonnie May dad was in the Navy, and we always lived in coastal towns. I know that smell and miss it. I am landlocked right now in my town and love to travel a little bit just to see the Lake Ontario, but would love to be surrounded by water again.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Re: You wont believe this - I went sailing yesterday (with a dislocated shoulder) I am so proud of you Sharon! Wow, I've always wanted to learn how to sail! I am so jealous!!! Jill My dad built sailboats, rented them, rented moorings, stored boats, and built/repaired boats. I miss the sounds/smells of the lake and sailing!!! waaaahhhhh!!! If the wind is out of the east I can smell Lake Michigan as we are only about 5 miles inland from it!!! I can sometimes hear the motor boats on the Milwaukee River which is about 1 mile south of us too.... but it's NOT the same as sitting in a sailboat or sitting on the pier.....

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 There are 6 clubs in Ontario with Access Dinghy's, known as Able Sail there all wiht web sites. SO maybe you can have a go too. I LOVED it and can't wait until Sunday to go out by myslef (espcially now that my shoulder is back in (for the time being) but if not I am going to ask for a servo assist boat (fully electric)).

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Yes, I am aware of them Sharon, thank you! It's an incredibly freeing experience to be on the water, some say the same thing about being on horseback too.
